Teen seriously injured after being struck by vehicle in North York

A teen was rushed to a trauma centre with serious injures after he was struck by a vehicle in North York Tuesday afternoon, officials say.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Bathurst Street and Stormont Avenue, south of Lawrence Avenue West, shortly before 2 p.m. with reports a pedestrian was struck.

Police said a volunteer paramedic was walking by and assisted the teen before emergency crews arrived.

The teen, accompanied by a principal from a local school, was then transported to hospital by paramedics, police said.

Officers initially said the driver of the vehicle fled the area, but in a later update said the driver remained on scene.
